Starlink for RV use is now here!

• RV Lifestyle

The massive constellation of low orbiting satellites being launched by Elon Musk's Space Exploration Technologies Corp (SpaceX) each month has been recently been switched on for mobile use.

In a March 3, 2022 tweet, Musk himself announced, saying: "Mobile roaming enabled, so phased array antenna can maintain signal while on moving vehicle."

The tweet came at about the same time Musk announced that he had sent Starlink communications gear to help Ukraine stay connected to the Internet as Russia continued to attack its infrastructure. So the mobile roaming tweet didn't get noticed much by mainstream media.

But RVers sure noticed it and have been quick to see if that upgrade was working. And as we report in RV Podcast 387 this week, some RVers are discovering that it is!
